Sharing Tianshi APP

This sound made the hairs all over Lin Jixuan stand on end. He took out a piece of drawn talisman paper from his backpack and held it between his fingers, and walked upstairs step by step.

When I got closer, I realized that the silk-like blood flow seen in the gap was actually the red paper umbrella Xia Ran was holding, and Xia Ran passed out at the door of the house for some reason, Lin Jixuan stepped forward to check her situation , and found that she was breathing steadily, as if she was asleep.

He straightened Xia Ran and let her lean against the door panel. After dialing 120, he picked up Xia Ran's oiled paper umbrella and examined it carefully.

This oil-paper umbrella is very exquisite in workmanship. At first glance, the umbrella surface looks like a complete piece of leather collapsed. You can only see the tiny lines when you are close to the light. The umbrella handle is flexible and strong, with a smooth surface. I don’t know What kind of oil is applied, the texture is fine, and it feels slippery to the touch.

"Such a complete leather surface..." His face was sombre, very ugly. In order to make the skin intact, the ancients would first cut a hole in the head, pour mercury into the hole, and finally get a complete skin After being skinned, the flesh and blood can even remain intact for an instant, which is nothing less than a kind of torture.Guessing from the completeness of this leather surface, the skin was taken out with this method of mercury empowerment in the first place.

And this umbrella rib, polished so smooth, must have gone through countless fine processes.

It was really scary.

And the phrase "You are here, sir" that sounded inexplicably just now, made Lin Jixuan want to know what happened to this oil-paper umbrella.

120 came soon, and the first aid gave Xia Ran a temporary examination. The anemia was severe. Lin Jixuan went to the hospital with the ambulance, and after helping Xia Ran to undergo the procedures for hospital observation, he waited for Xia Ran to wake up. .

He has been studying this oil-paper umbrella all the way, and even came up with the idea of ​​dismantling it and looking it up, but this method was too risky, and he was pressed. Anyway, the list sent to him was just to let him find out how the oil-paper umbrella came from .

He checked the conventional production process of oil-paper umbrellas on the Internet, and he could only find a few routine steps of bamboo, skeleton, stickers, painted flowers, and ripe tung oil. He even picked a video to watch, but he didn't see any major methods.

Lin Jixuan rubbed his swollen eyes, and after confirming Xia Ran's condition, he went out to go to the bathroom, and bumped into Sun Meng head-on just as he was going out.

"Brother Xiaoxuan?"

"Why are you here?"

Both of them were surprised. Sun Meng said, "Xu Lu suddenly felt unwell. I'll take her to the emergency department. What about you?"

"My neighbor passed out and will be hospitalized tonight for observation."

"Wow! Are you pretty, man and woman?"

"Sperm on the brain, you?"

"Aren't I the normal behavior of a normal young man with full blood? If everyone is as frigid as you, who will add new people to the development of the motherland?"

"Don't be poor, where is Xu Lu, I'll go and see."

"Over there, I'll take you there."

Sun Meng has been chatting about the evening friendship, implying that Xu Lu has thoughts about Lin Jixuan, until he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes standing beside Xu Lu, he stopped his voice.

Xu Lu was very surprised to see Lin Jixuan, and there was still uncontrollable ecstasy in her eyes. She calmed down her emotions and introduced shyly with a blushing face: "This is my dad, dad, this is my classmate, Sun Meng and Lin Jixuan."

"Hello, Uncle." The two greeted politely.

Xu Lu has an outstanding appearance, and she can be picked out from the crowd at the hospital at a glance, but her father is even more outstanding than her. This man is so beautiful, he is as beautiful as a dummy, and his skin is white and delicate, not at all like his age The state that a good man should have.

Sun Meng poked Lin Jixuan, and said in a low voice, "No wonder Xu Lu doesn't like us. Her father is so good-looking, so you can compete."

"Get out." Lin Jixuan cursed in a low voice, but for some reason, He Dongyuan's words "open your mouth and shut your mouth" sounded in his mind, and he closed his mouth depressed for an instant as if he had eaten shit.

"Please send Lu Lu to the hospital." Xu Chengxiu held Xu Lu's shoulders, and his eyes fell on Lin Jixuan's face, which made Lin Jixuan very uncomfortable.After a short silence, he said, "She has been weak since she was a child, little classmate, uncle will treat you to dinner some other day."

"No, uncle is too polite." Sun Meng was heartbroken and didn't feel anything unusual. Seeing that they were about to leave, he asked suspiciously, "The queue is almost up, don't you want to see the situation?"

"No, we hired a family doctor, he knows Lulu's situation better."

"Oh, good." Sun Meng touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and watched them leave.

"This father really cares about his daughter," Lin Jixuan noticed that it took less than 15 minutes for Sun Meng to pick up his number, and Xu Lu's father came to pick him up.

"It's very caring. It seems that the relationship is good, and you can afford a private doctor. Sure enough, all the conditions in the family are good to raise such an excellent daughter."

"It's okay, your eyeballs are about to fall off." Lin Jixuan said with disgust.

"Oh, I'm young..." He changed the subject, "Take me to see your female neighbor?"

Lin Jixuan didn't even think about it, and directly refused: "Gun..." He choked, ate shit, and changed his words, "Impossible."

Why do I always think of that bastard!Lin Jixuan suspected that it might be that such a person had never appeared in his life, and his ghost lingered.

After driving Sun Meng away, Lin Jixuan went back to the ward to see that Xia Ran didn't even have the oil-paper umbrella with him, he was stunned for a moment, seeing that the ward didn't seem to be struggling, he thought he had recruited a white-eyed wolf.

As a result, as soon as he got out of the hospital, he saw a figure in a long red dress floating in the alley. A crimson oil-paper umbrella bloomed above her head, like a full-blooming flower, which was particularly conspicuous at night.

Lin Jixuan followed quickly, thinking of Xia Ran's precautions, and after approaching a certain distance, his steps slowed down.

The two of them shuttled back and forth in the alley, their shadows were drawn long by the street lights, Xia Ran walked firmly, as if she had been called by something, and walked through the alley without hesitation, Lin Jixuan didn't know where her destination was, After walking not far or near, Xia Ran stopped for 10 minutes.

Lin Jixuan raised his head and glanced at Xia Ran's destination. This is an old drama theater. Because it has been too long, it is being demolished under the government's plan. You can vaguely see the stage behind you.

He remembered that he came here to listen to a play when he was a child, and the words of the play were babbling, and he sang all kinds of life. At that time, it was rumored that the stage was too old to be demolished, and he had survived the wind and rain for so many years. many things.

Without thinking too much, he followed Xia Ran's footsteps.

The inside of the theater is not big, and the surrounding walls that have been repeatedly moved for urban construction can be clearly seen. The circled stage, viewing area, and backstage are [-] square meters in total. The viewing area is especially cramped. If the audience is full , Shoulder squeezed shoulder to shoulder.

In contrast, the stage in the middle is very spacious, with thick curtains hanging from the left and right, and the scenery on the stage is withered, and it is hard to see what it is. It is probably a conventional scene such as a small bridge and flowing water.What surprised Lin Jixuan the most was that there was a chair in the middle of the stage.

The chair was ordinary in shape, a grand master's chair commonly used on the stage, but one of the chair legs was broken, and it was padded with bricks and stones, making it look taller on one side and shorter on the other.

Xia Ran sat down in the middle of the viewing area, still holding the oil-paper umbrella, quietly, like a wandering soul without self-awareness.

Lin Jixuan chose a corner to sit down, and just as he was seated, the chair on the stage suddenly moved.

He thought he was dazzled, but when he looked again carefully, the stone on his foot rolled out, and the chair fell backwards.

After the sound of "boom", there was the familiar sentence——

You are here, sir.

The curtain shook, and as the music sounded, two shadows appeared staggeringly in the center of the stage.

Lin Jixuan held his breath, the empty stage——

It's opened.

This performance is a shadow puppet show, with two leather masks playing Huadan and Xiaosheng respectively, without support, suspended in the air on the stage, swaying, and the singing is human voice, although it is a bit absurd, but the words are correct Round and melodious.

Lin Jixuan looked at it, and couldn't help but be attracted by the drama.

This play is not too different from the traditional play, it is about the drama of the daughter's boudoir grievances - a lady of a large family accidentally falls in love with a poor scholar, but her family has arranged for her to marry a wealthy gentry, and the two will meet after a lifetime He eloped and was caught by the gentry before he escaped from the city.

Although the story is old, the shadow puppet show has a special flavor, but since the two were arrested, the atmosphere has quietly changed.

The shadows on the stage are hung with masks, and each mask is carved in a very abstract way. At first glance, it looks like countless ghost faces floating in the air on the dark stage.

The following plot also surprised Lin Jixuan.

The noble gentry hated the young lady and the scholar, and lied to the young lady's family that the two had fallen off a cliff and died, and took them home and hid them in the execution room.

He buried the lady in the soil, cut a hole in the head, poured mercury, and after the skin fell off, the naked body was separated from the skin; at the same time, he hung the scholar on the shelf, placed a sharp knife under his feet, The whip lashed him to a bloody mess, and he used a knife to pluck off his flesh piece by piece.

When the young lady couldn't bear the torture, she jumped out of the skin and ran towards the scholar. The scholar who had been chopped into bones just breathed his last breath, and the young lady's body without the skin was like a pool of mud, corroded by mercury and almost deformed.

She stroked the scholar's bones and swallowed her last breath.

In the last scene on the stage, the gentry took the skin of the young lady and the leg bones of the scholar, and found the best umbrella maker to make this oil-paper umbrella. of blood.

When we got here, the whole play came to an end, the grand master's chair suddenly moved back, and the stepping stone rolled back to its original position, as if everything had never happened.

A dead silence.

So this is how this oiled paper umbrella came about... Lin Jixuan's eyes fell on the red oiled paper umbrella again. The umbrella was opened, and he couldn't see Xia Ran under the umbrella. Thinking back to the scenes of the drama, he shivered. vertical.

He didn't know why Xia Ran brought him here to watch this scene, was he implying something?Thinking back to the story carefully, the surface of the red oil-paper umbrella does not remove the color, but only human blood. What kind of paint did Xia Ran use to paint the surface of the umbrella...?

...Human blood?

Just as Lin Jixuan was thinking of this, Xia Ran suddenly stood up from her seat, the umbrella tilted, half of her figure was not under the shadow of the umbrella, and the other half was exposed to the moonlight, she turned her head and smiled at Lin Jixuan.

This smile made Lin Jixuan immediately see the woman in the black and white photo in Lin Jixuan's mind, with the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, every facial feature is very similar to her!

Lin Jixuan frowned, holding an exorcism talisman in his hand, and a peach talisman in the other hand, and he still had a puppet stand-in, so he shouldn't be no match for a broken umbrella. Lin Jixuan greeted her: "If you have something to say, do it Say, don't put on such a ghostly look."

Xia Ran looked at Lin Jixuan and smiled even more alluringly.

"Xiao Langjun, you look so handsome," she covered her lips with a chuckle, and said, "You have heard my play, and you have to act it out for me. This is the rule of this shady theater. I think you look like me." Be tight, I specially remind you——

"It's your turn!"
